...that he "hasn't missed a Harvard-Yale football game since 1905," has lately been specializing on the South where Negro delegates to the Republican convention are to be had for a price. Last fortnight disgruntled Southern Democrats had a chance to look Republican Fish over at swank Aiken, S. C. Last week he spoke by radio over a Southern hookup, inviting all those who were "deceived and disgusted" with their national Administration to "cross over" to Candidate Fish...
...most beautiful portion of the United States are the Carolinas"? What portion of the U. S. is more beautiful than our Great Smoky Mountains-Banners Elk, Linville Falls, Chimney Rock, Tryon, Brevard, Hendersonville, Blowing Rock and other mountain retreats; or our famous winter resorts-Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Camden, Aiken, Summerville; or Myrtle Beach, Kitty Hawk; and the beautiful gardens of Charleston, Orangeburg and Wilmington, to which we might add our world-known hunting and fishing grounds-Ocracoke, Lake Matta-muskeet and Morehead City...

Mr. O'Hara, in Appointment in Samarra, has employed this technical device to explain the temperament of his hero, Julien English. And here is Victoria Lincoln, following along...
...defeat of Republican Senator David Aiken Reed caused particular rejoicing around the White House campfires. As a rich and reactionary Pittsburgher, as the Senate spokesman for Andrew W. Mellon, as the close ally of Pennsylvania's manufacturer and bankers, Senator Reed personified to Roosevelt Democrats all the things the New Deal was against. Capitalizing to the limit on Roosevelt prestige and brazenly comparing the $678,000,000 poured into his State as relief and loans by the Roosevelt Administration to the $12,000,000 by the Hoover Administration, Democrat Guffey went about Pennsylvania lauding the President...
